Even though both my parents were professors, I've recently discovered a newfound appreciation for teachers. As some of you know my oldest son started Kindergarten this year, and whoo!

In an effort to keep this conversation going, I wanted to share a letter written by the First Lady of the United States to Newtown, Connecticut.

In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, many have been trying to do their part to honor the lives we lost.
